    [H] ATI X1000 (R520) Series Eval.

    Albeit I didn't intend to get involved much in a long-winded debate, there's no single doubt that Intel is actually the market leader in units sold (despite them being IGPs as you implied). Minor difference being that I wouldn't even call them graphics processors, but fancy word processors...

    [H] ATI X1000 (R520) Series Eval.

    The frustration amongst the userbase is understandable; especially since various trash tabloid sites (no need to name them really) got hopes as high that way too many believed in a "G70-killer", especially since wannabe reporters claimed 6 or sometimes even 8 quads. By the time rumours...

    What the Falanx is that? Mail200

    What for? They've acquired the Gigapixel IP/technology portofolio and the former Gigapixel engineers when they bought 3dfx. Gigapixel was also a small startup IP company that used to make a huge fuss about their technology, before 3dfx bought them. In fact they did negotiate with Microsoft...

    Falanx and Intel? Not a single chance in hell ;)

    Because they didn't need to. From their timeline in their 20th anniversary announcement: Only when NVIDIA entered the OEM market aggressively and started cutting off ATI's market shares there, the latter reacted attacking NVIDIA in it's own playground.

    True, but it won't do them much good when attempting to intice major semiconductor manufacturers. It takes more than that.

    What the Falanx is that? Mail200

    I've already tried to do backwards math for the floating point number and I speculate that they might take something like 12 or 4 pixels/clock at maximum overdraw under account. Just for the record a single pipeline isn't telling much, unless you know the amount of ALUs. ***edit: creative...

    While Falanx has obviously investors, cash inflow cannot be unlimited. Currently their size in terms of manpower is smaller than that of the Bitboys. In the mid 90's where 3D was still in its infancy, startup companies had their chances and many of them succeeded. Back then it took years to...

    What the Falanx is that? Mail200

    This is way OT but KYRO's major problem IMHO was the lack of a T&L unit/geometry processor and cube map support; while it's debatable that it truly needed either/or at release, it would had granted it a longer lifetime and compatibility though. Falanx 's Mali55/100 (first generation) can have...

    What the Falanx is that? Mail200

    And many many more but that's not really the point either. I just find it highly strange that Falanx announced the Mali200 merely 6 days later than IMG's SGX ;) A couple of things: the PDA/mobile market is ideal for IP licensing and that's why such companies can easier break into it. However...

    IGPs are obviously not suited for gamers with high demands, however powerful - in a relative sense always - each future sollution will be. But if performance rises in the ultra low segment, the pressure to the higher market segments will be inevitable. If integrated graphics of the future should...

    8-way SIMDs could be feasable for integrated graphics late 2006 IMO. However if such a design cannot meet WGF2.0 compliance, it'll have a tough time entering that market. The Mali200 though looks like it can; so wishing for just SM3.0 is a bit too conversative ;)

    What the Falanx is that? Mail200

    Mali200 as presented in the article is obviously a future IP core for the PDA/mobile market. It's their second generation of IP for that market and I haven't seen yet any implementations from the first batch. This one's obviously too advanced for now and I suspect integration not to start...
